Failure notice

I get a failure notice during operation of my Win98. The notice pops up quite randomly and you can only click "OK" and nothing really happends. So it doesn't really matter, but I am curious about what it is.

sounds like something like ICQ or someother program is set to listen for modem dialup,and then start,,,,go to start /run and type msconfig click on startup tab and see what all is listed,,,,all thats really necessory is systray,,,uncheck all and add back whatever you want till you find the culprut.....

To add to the above comments:
As suggested above,it looks like u have a trojan/virus in u'r system.Click on start-->run and type msconfig.Click on the startup tab and check for any suspicious programs.If u find any uncheck them and reboot.
Also immediately after a boot u can press ctrl+alt+del and check for any suspiciously named programs.
Cheers.

I am not very familiar with the Windows Registry, but as I ran msconfig I found some strange looking startup programs. I'll try to remove these and see what happends.

ThePunisher! Can you tell me some more about this porting you are talking about?
